1.0 INTORDUCTION
1.1 GENERAL BACKGROUND TO THE SUBJECT MATTER
Leadership is an everyday act involving the skill of leading and dealing with people the success in ruling man dominions is contingent upon both his ability to wield power effectively and the existence of an opportunity situation. Problem which results within organizational members disagree on both the nature of the goals to which people aspire and the act of leadership. Leadership as we use the term refers to behaviour, undertaken within the context of an organization that influence the ways in which other organizational members behave (Banclas 1960).
It could be observed that both leadership and management envisages deeply into what the organization can achieve of the quality or recognition is accorded to them. Leadership has been approved to include the sources of influence that are built into a position in an organizational sanctioned reward and punishment authority as well as referent and expert power (Katz and Kahn 1966, p 3.3) it could be seen however that subordinates within the organization though not all seems to enjoy influence that exist all over and above the organization hierarchy provided by their role in the organization.
Leadership is very essential in organization because achievement and results occur corollary to the traits being projected by the leader. Leadership includes the ultimate source of power but has positive ability in persuading other individual and to be innovative in decision making.
Problems are bound to occur within every noted organization decision making is bound to generate conflicts while imitating policies. People are expected to co-ordinate whatever thing they are doing to achieve organizational goals.
In this light, the motion of leadership act are those which help a group in meeting those stated objectives (Banaelas 1960, p 491) in general terms act of controlling other people consist of uncertainty reduction which entails making the kind of choice that permits the organization to proceed its objective despite various kind of internal and external disturbances.
The effectiveness of leadership has some characteristics elements which includes forceful threats complete assertion of authority to the subordinates and derived and situational responsibilities.
Note that in the society today not only presences of rewards (positive and negative or the incentive appraised could produce productivity both the felling of belongings.
Improper leadership qualities within has a negative impact on the subordinates as well as the achievement of the organizational objectives.
1.2PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER FACTORS OF LEADERSHIP
The art of controlling people to achieve organizational goals dose not just occur circumstances environmental influences and facts are always presented for the successful act of leadership behaviours allows the entire manner of eliciting or helping to elicit result or influence the result from the unknown.
This behavioural approach which holds that leaders are best characterized by behaviours pattern rather than by individual traits (filley and house 1969 p 393). In this context it could be seen that the behavioural theory of leadership is that factor which is responsibility for motivating the leaders as well as the subordinates.
The leadership behaviour has two aspects which involve consideration and initiating structure. The consideration aspect refers to behaviour that increases mutual trust respects warmth and complete report between the leader and his group.
Grievances of this level may diminish as the amount of consideration demonstrated by foreman increases. Initiating structure has to do with the foreman’s behaviour in assigning tasks planning and deciding how thing should be done out is the art at leadership by managers and the derived responsibility by the subordinate considering the prevailing situation. It embodies over emphasis on the achievement or organization goals. It is now seen that leadership is affected by the three factors which are the leader the led and the situation otherwise the leader the subordinates and the situation respectively.
The leader possesses some traits and characteristics which assist him to deal with prevailing situation. They are such skills as the conceptual skill the human relation, administrative managerial analytical technical and diagnostic skill. Other includes intelligence initiative imagination enthusiasm and communication traits. It was grouped strong will extroversion power need and achievement need (Hanen 1961, p.171). this eventually results to task and personal oriented effort which will help to achieve complete success.
The subordinates or those being led also contributed in that they want recognition in the organization in which they contribute their skill. The results is because of the difference in status order and reorganization some member may expect to be consulted on decision making and such personalities could be up set by unilateral decision by the leaders (Belasco et al lit 1981 p.146)
For leadership to be perfect a person who is skilled in the art of leadership must be adequately consulted the leaders should have the ability to practice judgment of circumstance in which he or she find himself or shows that the different leader behaviour will be differently effectiveness of the group as a whole by means of intervening variable which affects group performance directly. The skill of leadership are has three dimensions of ingredient the ability to varying times depending on the contingency of the situation the ability to comprehend that human being have differing motivating forces the ability to inspire and the ability to act in a way that develop a climate for responding to and arousing motivation (Kornts 1980 p 663). The leader consideration can increase motivation and co-ordination to improve group
